Solid For Lowering the Surplus.

Solid For Lowering the Surplus.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. The delega-
ton from Nebraska and Iowa seems to
be pretty solid for some kind of tariff
reform during the session of congress
While the republicans are not willing
10 go as Tar as the democrats want to
90, they are ready to do the. reasonable
thing. They do not want a general re-
ductiOn. covering wool and woolens
and manufactured articles, but they
will support a reasonable bill reform
ing the tariff and embracing the most
necessary and common things daily in
use. They are for free sugar, lumber,
salt and that class of articles and they
believe that a bill for the enlargement
of the free list with such things will be
passed, if It is presented as it should be.
So far as the northwest is concerned, re-
publicans generally want some reduc-
ton Of the tarif.-Press Dispatch.

THE ENGLISH RADICALS.
A Meeting at Which the National Anthem
Was Not Very Popular.

A Meeting at Which the National Anthem
Was Not Very Popular.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE inaugural meeting of
the Liberal Radical Union was held in ST.
James Hall to- night. The hall was crowded to
its full capacity, and the utmost enthusiasm pre-
vailed. Everything went swimmingly until the
organist attempted to play God Save the
Queen" when a storm of Kisses, boots and cat
calls arose. This demonstration was Offset by
tremendous cheering from another part of the
hall, and the efforts of the organist went for
naught At the fret notes of the national ap-
them, which evoked signs of displeasure, all of
the members of Parliament occupying seats on
the platform arose and cheered, with the excep-
tion OF Mr. Bradlaugh, who remained silent IN
his chair. The majority of those present were
clearly in favor of Mr.. Bradlaugh's action. as
was shown by the fact that the Kisses and
groans were sufficiently voluminous to drown
the cheering, and by the additional fact that
they Endorsed the member for Northampton by
terrific cheering after the first outburst had sub
sided.
Mr.. John Morley addressed the meeting in a
vigorous speech. in which he praised Lord Hart
ington for refusing to assist Lord Salisbury in
saving the political antiquities of the Carlton
Club from disaster. The detection OF Mr..
Goschen, Mr.. Morley said had not caused any
great refrigeration OF the Liberal atmosphere,
member and the most respected old member OF
the House OF Commons would scarcely
strengthen a government which was, indeed
like old pump whose handle had come off
Every mention of Mr.. Gladstones name was
greeted with enthusiastic applause.

The Catholics and Henry George.

CINCINNATI. Jan. 1l-Archbishop Elder upon
being asked as to the truth Of the report that
the Catholic Church and the knights of Labor
were united IN opposition tn the Henry Heorge
movement, wrote answer Of whicnthe follow
ing is the substance:
''The sensational article about the Catholic
Church, the Knights of Labor and Henry
George, that appeared 10 the Sum- has no founda-
tion The Arch bishop took part in the confer
ence of bishops, held in Baltimore, last October,
and the whole result was published the next
day. The rest of the article is wholly gratui-
tous. The idea that Catholics are afraid Mr.
George is going to destroy the church is enough
of itself to show the mental caliber of whoever
expressed il, and the assertion that the church
is schemipg TO the Knights of Labor for the
suppression of Mr. George, or for any other pur-
pose, is simply eratuitous invention thrown
out to make sensation. AS regards
Mr. George and his theories, there is not little
dispute as to what are really his doctrines, and
there is great deal as to what are the
logical consequences. and what would be the
practical results of his theories II he really
denies that individuals can rightly and justly
hold the ownership of land, then his doctrine is
false, contrary to the teachings and to the law
of God, and to the best interests of laDorins
men themselves"
